How much would yall pay for this truck, i have about 14000 to go on and it has to be a 99 or newer with less than 75xxx miles.
99 dodge
I called and the guy said they would take 18xxx cash
and 14xxx wasnt enough.
Where will i find the block casting number on this truck so i can look for the 53

 

Don't forget, you CAN get a 24V in a '98.5 truck.

Why the need for a '99 ?

Sorry I can't help you with the pricing of trucks. I think $14,000 for a '99 might be a little low. I know a guy paid $10,000 for a '93 truck with ~75,000 miles.

Where are you in South Tx? I'm in Laredo. Just thought I'd say Howdy.

Thats the conditions of the loan company, 99 or newer, less than 75xxx miles,
Im going to go shopping for some other loans, these people dont understand what these trucks go for. I live in kingsville, south of Corpus Christi

 

Check nada.com. It will give an idea what the truck would sell for in your area.

I have 130K on mine and wouldn't sell it for $14K either.

Your not going to find a 98 or 99 for $14k unless it has well over 150k on it. Maybe more like 200k.

You might find a 96 for that much.

I'd say that truck is worth more like $17k.

As far as the 53, I found the first 53 truck today. It was right above were the oil pan bolts on towards the front of the engineon the drivers side. I could only see it looking from in front of the front tire. This was an 00. Too bad, cause I really liked the truck.

 

I wonder how many of these are sold already cracked. Block sealer will seal it when it is first found. Bars leaks block sealer did a good job on mine for a couple of weeks working it hard.

I would not purchase one earlier than 2002 without checking it out good for a crack. A real enterprising individual can grind off the #53 so it looks ok. Wonder how I know that....

 

I guess I have missed out on something here. What are you talking about the "53"?

 

The 53 blocks are known to crack

 

I got my 99 for 12 grand with 149,989 miles on it. You just got to look hard and you will find a deal.

 

Got mine for 14500 in Oct 03. Had 83k miles when purchased.

 

Not that I plan on selling in the forseen future, but I love knowing these trucks hold their value.

 

When I was looking for a truck. The going price for a reg. cab 2500 was around $17,000 give or take in the same condition. I paid a bit more for my truck, but it only had 38,000 miles and it's a quad and loaded.

 

kbb retail is 16500, trade is like 12xxx, on this paticular truck. I got the paperwork on the loan and the intrest was 16.99%
I think im going to shop for another one. Go figure, i have perfect credit, no debt except for my house, and enough encome to afford the thing. What exactly do these people look at when your looking for a lone? If anybody sees a good 5spd 4x4 quad-cab long bed in and around south texas let me know.;

 

How far south in Texas?
